Although he’s surely had plenty of offers, Julio Iglesias admits he has no desire to become an actor, saying the two films he made early in his career were “the worst ever made!” Iglesias jokingly recalled his past experiences in front of the movie cameras during a press conference held by Iberia, the national airline of his native Spain and sponsor of his recent U.S. concert tour. Next on his agenda is the release of two new CBS albums--one in English is due to come out this month, and one in Spanish to be released later.

After several years of self-imposed retirement and many rumored comebacks, Spain’s Camilo Sesto will definitely return to the stage. The popular singer/songwriter is set for a tour of Mexico before year’s end, much to the delight of his fans.

Actor Esai Morales (“La Bamba” and “Bad Boys”) has signed an exclusive deal with Spelling Entertainment to develop and star in an hourlong TV drama series, as yet untitled. Morales recently finished a new movie, “Naked Tango.”

Actress Catherine Bach (“Dukes of Hazzard”) has wed her long-time boyfriend, local entertainment attorney Peter Lopez.
